What does it look like to live as a distinct witness in the world around us?

In this message, Pastor Keith Cross looks at Jeremiah 29 and God’s instructions to His people living in exile. Even in a difficult and unfamiliar culture, God called them to live faithfully right where He had placed them.

A distinct witness will settle down and multiply, faithfully living out their calling in the ordinary rhythms of life. They will seek the peace and prosperity of their city, serving, loving, and praying for the place God has called them. And they will submit to God’s schedule, trusting His plans even when His timing is different from their own.

We don’t need to mirror the panic or anger around us. We are called to live faithfully, bless our communities, and trust the God who holds our future
